What impact does a safe adult have in a child’s life? It’s nearly impossible to measure. In this episode, we have the incredible privilege to welcome Jaymi Lynn, who has experience across the gamut of foster care.

I know you’ll be inspired by her story and supported by the wisdom she has to share!
